Yep, Erector sets, Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs, Chemistry sets, playing cards in the spokes of your bicycle (until you got upgraded to a Mattel "V-RRoom"), the "Visible V-8", Revell model kits of all kinds, Cox .049 line control airplanes ..... <sigh>

Most of all I remember the Lionel Train set that was huge! I don't remember the gauge but I remember the engine & cars were long and heavy. The controller unit was basically a quad variac that must have weighed 20 lbs. Wow - what that set would be worth today if I still had it. Bawling

And yes, back when I was a kid Japanese cars were considered junk. In my teens I was strictly a "Chevy man". Swore I would never be caught dead in an "import". As an adult I ended up working for two different Japanese car companies that were outselling American cars like crazy at the time. Go figure.
